2. Each one must has principles in his life which he belives in. and I belive in my principles even if it will cause that I will lose a good job, I should think in a different way, how could i offered this job? because of my skills and potential, then I can get a better job or atleast with better boss who should respect my principles.
LOSING A GOOD JOB INSTEAD OF LOSING SELF-RESPECT.


3. there is no mean to live healthy and wealthy life without people surround you, giving you a real love, and you share and injoy your life with them. loving family is The real source of happiness, imagin if some one jsut shows you the love and careness because of your money, or you are healthy and alone. is it better? I dont think so.

1. If I could find the cure for only one disease, I would like to find the cure for cancer. My reason is that my grandfater was dead because of the cancer.
2. It depends on what kind of wrong thing which my boss ask me to do. Generally, I will do it. But if my boss askd me to hurt somebody or to sell my friends out, I will refuse to do that.
3. I will choose a loving family. I think even if you have perfect health or a lot of money, you will still feel lonely and boring without family. I believe that family is the most important thing in our life.

1. if i had control of all medical research in the world, by concentrating funds and efforts, i would like to choose CVD (cardiovascular disease) since this might become the most dangerous problem in the world when the economy is unstable. when the economy goes up, people will work harder and overtime most of the time. on the other hand, they might be very depressive in the employment crisis like now. both tendencies might bring people to CVD.

2. If my boss told me to do something that is wring, my answer would be NO because i do not want to feel guilty later on and i believe that the truth and sincere always win. furthermore, i am still young and able to jump to another company since i do not want to work for the people whom i do not respect.

3.if i had to choose among perfect health, a loving family, and wealth, i would choose a good family because for me, happiness is the most important thing that brings me to success. i do not want to live so long without happiness. this seems like being suffered. next, being happy will reinforce me to do better in my career and others; then, this will bring wealth and money.

1.I would select the AIDS, because cure against AIDS is good money :-))
2. The boss' order have to be done. The work is the army. The orders are peremptory, but on accomplishing the order you can ask about usefulness of your action. Only such way brings about the discipline and increasing of the company' income. But actually, there are no bad orders in a real good job.
3. I'd choose the perfect health, which is base for loving family and wealth.. The ill person evokes only the compassion, which is taken as love. I'm not writing about the illness happened during the domesticity.

1.I would select heart disease because its outbreak is too unexpected, and there is a great amount of heart disease patients died without their family’s awareness.
2.I would not do that because I can replace my job, but I can not lose my principle.
3.I would choose to have a loving family because the healthy body I expect to have and the wealthy I desire to be are both something I want to get for my family.

1- I would choose Cancer because this is one of the diseases that the researchers didn't find the solution for it yet.If I had enough money to afford like these research, I would concentrate funds and efforts.

2- First of all, I think a Job could be replaced by another. In addition, if you well qualified, you will find it easy to get a good job. Second of all, the most important thing in your life is your Principles no matter what the situation is. Principles are a valuable thing that can't be replaced not like the job.

3- I think I will choose loving family because it is the root of your life. Also, I am going to die anyway, so I prefer to have a lovely family to be happy for the rest of my life. Also, if I were ill and I have people around me, I would forget everything and I'll be happy.:-))
